"Tanglefoot" is short for "Tree Tanglefoot", a product sold by the
Tanglefoot Company.  It's sold pre-mixed, usually in white plastic
tubs with green trim and black lettering.  Essentially, it's a big tub
of viscous goo.
 
Here's what the label says:
 
    Tree Tanglefoot
    Pest Barrier
 
    Effective against:
    - Cankerworms
    - Gypsy Moth Caterpillars
    - Ants
    - Root Weevils
    - Climbing Cutworms
    - Other destructive climbing insects
 
    Tree Tanglefoot Pest Barrier has been manufactured from 100%
    natural ingredients since 1902.
 
    Ingredients: Castor Oil, Natural Gum Resins, Vegetable Wax
 
    The Tanglefoot Company
    Grand Rapids Michigan 49504 USA
    +1 616 459 4139, 8am-5pm EST
    E.P.A. Est. No. 1621-MI-1
 
Here in Butler County, Pennsylvania, USA, it's commonly sold in
hardware and garden supply stores.  If you look around some, you
shouldn't have too much difficult finding it.
 
Good luck,
James
